My guess is he's doing resume engineering.

And $140/month is pretty good value there probably... Even if that's just being able to point potential employers/recruiters at this blog post as evidence of experience building and running an HA website with more-advanced-than-free-Google-Analytics user behaviour tracking.

I was just thinking along similar lines.

Article mentions in a few places that money could be saved - but lowering the cost doesn't seem to be the driver.

Makes sense to me that if you're building the site as a hobby/practice/demo it makes sense to "build it properly" - and it's fun.
